Indigenous Business Connector Program
The Indigenous Business Connectors program is delivered by Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise and supported by Shell QGC.
The program is designed to

- Establish collaborative relationships between Indigenous businesses and agencies that provide or manage funding, programs, resources, and pathways for Indigenous businesses
- Facilitate improved access to finance by connecting Indigenous businesses with programs such as the Indigenous Business Australia’s (IBA) Indigenous Start-up Finance Package, and the Indigenous Entrepreneurs Capital Scheme.
